Title: knowledgeTree does not work with php5-cgi 5.3
Post by: Marco Hess on September 10, 2010, 04:04:20 AM

Just a bit of warning about the php5-cgi 5.3 update that is recently made available.

I am running a source install of knowledgeTree community edition and has done so for over a year with the php5-cgi contrib version 5.2.8.

Without thinking to hard I did a yum upgrade for the php5-cgi 5.3 that was available and found that my knowledgeTree installation came to its knees :-(

For example the knowledgeTree background scheduler stars spouting these errors:

Code: [Select]

Turns out that knowledgeTree 3.7.0.2 is not (yet) supported on php 5.3. They state php 5.2.x as a system requirement.

So I removed the php5-cgi 5.3 and reinstalled the 5.2.8 version that I still had in my yum cache and all is happy again.

This is most likely due to the fact that magic quotes has been deprecated in PHP 5.3 (http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php) judging from the last errors of your posted error message.
The first might have to do with that, but I can not tell as I do not have the code base to check.

Hé Marco,

Do you still have this 5.2.8. contrib for me. I have the same problem but the old php-cgi contrib is not available anymore.

I do, but not easy at hand as I am travelling at the moment.

I had a go at it and moved them to

http://through-ip.com/packages/smeserver/i386/

No guarantees as this is all done remotely from a camp site :-)

Cheers!
